We went out for a bike ride this afternoon and caught site of the fire burning just west of here. This area has had some bad fires--tragic fires in the recent past. On July 3, 1994 a fire started by lightning began burning near this same place. It burned for several days and on July 6, fourteen firefighters were killed. Here is a link for information on that fire: http://forestry.about.com/od/forestfire/ss/s_canyon_fire.htm Apparently this fire was also begun by a lightning strike last night and today it is windy. We hope and pray that this fire is out very soon.
